Mastery System
The Mastery System
A Mastery is a specialized ability that offers unique advantages, such as improving an existing spell, unlocking a passive benefit, or granting an entirely new technique.
Masteries are obtained by finding a rare item known as a Mastery Codex. These codices are hidden among the spoils of battle, dropped as rare loot from creatures encountered throughout the world. They may also be found within treasure chests, unearthed from deep burial sites or salvaged from long-forgotten shipwrecks. Once a player obtains a Mastery Codex, they can unlock the corresponding ability for their character. After unlocking, the Mastery must be trained and leveled through continued use and experience in order to reach its full potential.
While many creatures around Regisfall have a chance to drop a Mastery Codex, the odds are weighted toward stronger foes. Creatures found in more dangerous regions or those possessing greater strength and resilience such as bosses, are more likely to yield a Mastery Codex upon defeat.
